<p>[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 4493179, member: 2027"]A brief backstory: My sister's mother-in-law was an antiques dealer. She passed away about 30 years ago. Sister's husband was an only child and they inherited all the antiques the MIL kept, collected, etc and often repaired. BIL passed away 2 months ago and sister has a house full of antiques. None of which she plans on selling. I was staying with sister and we got curious about one of the pieces she has. So, I knew where I could get answers for her, obviously. So the question is, what was this used for? Would it be called a compote? Looks like it should have a glass? ladle or spoon. The glass seems too delicate to have held anything hot, BWDIK. It is 15 1/2" from the foot to the top of finial. The "bowl" itself is 6 1/2" high and 6 3/4" in diameter. The notch is 1" by 1". Last picture is the bottom of the foot.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391920[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]391922[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391923[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
